Transferring CA license to WA license..Help!

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hi!

I am a new grad that went to nursing school in CA and I have just accepted a job in WA. I need to transfer my CA license to WA, but I'm super confused on how to do it! Is there anyone that can offer any tips or outline the steps to do so?

Thank you so much!

You would need to apply for licensure by endorsement. Instructions are in the packet

LPN is also available on the WA BON website.

Hi I’m sorry I haven’t been on here forever. It took 3+ months to get it to transfer... and CA is the side that takes FOREVER. Once CA takes care of their side, WA is relatively quick. But overall it’s a long process.
